Workstation of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine

Abstract

A workstation (1) of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine which comprises a rotatably mounted spindle (2) and a balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) height-adjustable by means of a drive (18, 29) coupled to a control device (20) which controls the drive (18, 29) in such a manner that it displaces the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9) between operating positions (AP1, AP2) dependent upon production parameters and a resting position (RS) advantageous in the case of production interruptions and transient operating phases associated with the latter. A device (21, 23, 24, 25) is present for detecting a measured value (i), which is made available to the control device (20) and which causes the control of the drive (18, 29) to change the position of the balloon-yarn-guide-eye (9).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from German National Patent Application No. DE 10 2015 014 382.4, filed Nov. 9, 2015, entitled “Arbeitsstelle einer Doppeldrahtzwirn-oder Kabliermaschine”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a workstation of a two-for-one twisting or cabling machine which comprises a rotatably mounted spindle and a balloon-yarn-guide-eye height-adjustable by means of a drive.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Since a single yarn often cannot satisfy the requirements which are placed on it with regard to its strength and / or its uniformity during further processing or in the finished product, it is conventional in the textile industry to initiate a yarn finishing by twisting two or more yarns together. This textile process of yarn finishing is generally designated as yarn-twisting, wherein, however, a distinction is made between differe...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a device that helps adjust the tension of yarn in a workstation. It uses a balloon and a yarn guide to control the tension. This device makes sure that the balloon is always positioned in a way that helps reduce energy consumption. It also allows for precise adjustments of yarn tension, which helps improve the size and shape of the balloon. The control device can move the balloon to different positions to save energy and adjust tension. Overall, this device helps improve the efficiency and performance of the workstation.

Problems solved by technology

However, since large yarn balloons are known to lead to relatively large ventilation losses and therefore to an increased energy requirement of the workstations of the two-for-one twisting or cabling machines, various attempts have already been made in the past, especially in conjunction with less friction-sensitive yarn materials, such as cotton, to reduce or respectively to limit the diameter of the yarn balloons.

However, the disadvantage with these known two-for-one yarn-twisting spindles is the relatively long physical contact of the circulating yarn balloon with the stationary balloon limiter.

In the case of the workstations of the two-for-one twisting or cabling machines described above, in which the height of the circulating yarn balloon is limited in each case by a balloon-yarn-guide or respectively a balloon-yarn-guide-eye, it is often not possible or respectively at least extremely difficult to implement variations in the height of the yarn balloon during the operation of the workstation.

With such an arrangement, all of the balloon-yarn-guides on one side of the machine are displaced together during the spinning operation; a separate control of the balloon-yarn-guide of an individual workstation is not possible.
